With the countdown underway to Arirang’s March 20 release, BTS have unveiled the 14-song track list for their anticipated comeback album.

“Swim” will serve as the title track and the anthemic “Into the Sun” will close out the album, the band announced on Tuesday. The tracks were produced and written by some of the biggest names in music, including Mike WiLL Made-It, Flume, Diplo, El Guincho, JPEGMAFIA, and Ryan Tedder, among others.

The project stands to serve as a culmination of the journeys V, Suga, Jin, Jungkook, RM, Jimin, and J-Hope have taken so far in their 13-year run, which has seen them embark on solo projects. In reuniting for their first album since 2020, the members had a very “hands-on approach” in the creation of the album, with RM having a hand in every track except for the interlude.

The band noted that SUGA and J-Hope are credited on multiple tracks, including “Body to Body,” “Merry Go Round,” and “Normal.” Jimin was involved in the creation of “they don’t know ’bout us” and “Into the Sun”; V worked on “2.0” and “Into the Sun”; and Jung Kook helped create four songs, including “Hooligan.”

The album title derives from a traditional Korean folk song, “Arirang,” with the band landing on the name for its strong resonance with their current journey. “The new release explores universal emotions of longing and love and will resonate with the worldwide audience as a timeless legacy across generations and cultures,” BTS explained in a previous statement.

BTS will mark their comeback with a massive world tour, kicking off in Goyang, South Korea on April 9. They’ll arrive in Tampa, Florida in late April before wrapping up the U.S. leg of their tour in September in California. Those who didn’t manage to score a concert ticket, or simply can’t wait to see BTS back in action, can catch a screening of BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’ Live Viewing, which will show in theaters this April.

1. “Body to Body”

The Menzingers Are Done Living in the Past

The Menzingers were getting fired up over a couple of beers, talking about their new album when the topic of where to record came up. There were legendary studios and cities, like Los Angeles, that they had never worked in. Then they had one idea: What if they recorded right in South Philly, the neighborhood they’ve lived in for 20 years? Sure, they’ve made albums in Philadelphia before, at studios in Fishtown and nearby suburb Conshohocken, but for their ninth studio LP, Everything I Ever Saw, they kept everything right in their backyard at producer Will Yip’s newly built studio.

‘Billboard’ Charts Definitively Prove Everybody Loves Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney‘s latest solo album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, has landed here, there, and everywhere on Billboard‘s latest chart returns, mostly at Number One. While the LP, which contains the singles “Days We Left Behind” and “Home to Us,” bowed at Number Five on the Billboard 200, which tabulates an album’s popularity with a combination of sales and “album-equivalent” streaming units, the trade mag reports that it landed at Number One on its Top Album Sales, Vinyl Albums, and Indie Store Album Sales charts.

McCartney managed this week’s feat by earning 63,000 album equivalent units in the U.S. for the week ending June 4, Billboard reports. The album’s sales, meanwhile, reached 59,500, of which 32,000 were vinyl records.

Sharon Osbourne Says AI Ozzy Is Not a Cash Grab: ‘I Don’t Need Your F—ing Money’

Sharon Osbourne responded to criticism that the development of an AI version of Ozzy Osbourne is about the money. Speaking on the latest episode of The Osbournes podcast, Sharon addressed claims that the family is taking advantage of new technology as a “cash grab.”

On the episode, Sharon and Jack Osbourne described the AI avatar of Ozzy as a technological advancement, noting that if they don’t do it someone else will. Jack added that it’s a “closed AI module” that is not connected to the Internet. “Someone said, ‘It’s dangerous, you can’t control,'” he recounted. “And I was like, ‘What the fuck do you think this? Terminator?’ You think this is going to go sentient and the next thing you know Ozzy is going to launch the nukes?”
